Rutgers vs Penn State / Game Thread

[RU848789]

That's grounding all day

 

[rucoe89]

Homer refs.

 

[koleszar]

In the area? He wasn't even in the same zip code.

 

[RUboston]

It's too much to keep asking your D to do everything.

 

[RU4Real]

O'Hara just made an "Airplane!" joke...

 

[miketd1]

if we just had a COMPETENT QB, we could beat this team.

 

[RUSK97]

Punch to the gut there.

 

[rucoe89]

That is what a real WR can don not the sad excuses for WR talent we have.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

OMG.. Ash calls a timeout to go on the field and call out his DB?

A timeout I get.. but don't publicly abuse the DB there.

 

[RUOtBOtOR]

The sideline official almost hurt himself rushing over to take away that obvious grounding call.

 

[RU848789]

I might get crucified for this, but I sincerely believe that the single most unforgivable mistake by the coaching staff this year was running Flacco out of town.

Why would you get crucified for saying that? Many of us thought he was our best QB in the spring game and couldn't understand why he wasn't at least "in the mix" for being the starter.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

And a BS PI call in the endzone.. again... ehh.. marginal..

 

[miketd1]

So lulz

 

[rucoe89]

Turn the F around when you see the WR hands go up.

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Our blitzes are freaking garbage.

We send a guy off the edge, and instead of running at fullspeed, our defender stops to engage the OT.

WHY?

 

[miketd1]

If we hold them to 3 it’s massive

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

watch.,, they are going to give PSU their timeout back

The PSU OL fell on top of wilkins? No,, he was blocking him in the back the whole way.

 

[D1ESEL44]

PSU o line holding again and no flags

 

[RU848789]

Great - looks like we just lost our best DL

 

[rucoe89]

PSU o line holding again and no flags

Silly you. Only we hold.

 

[Rokodesh]

And a BS PI call in the endzone.. again... ehh.. marginal..

It was PI, if it happened to our WR this board would lose their ****

 

[RU848789]

how does Maddox not catch that?

 

[RUSK97]

Not a ******* player on our team can catch

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

This offense is so bad we couldn't even find a way to eat up a minute of clock, and PSU marches down the field for another FG.

 

[RU848789]

And a BS PI call in the endzone.. again... ehh.. marginal..

That was 100% PI on Hayes - not even close.

 

[Rokodesh]

Nice breakup by Wharton

 

[rucoe89]

how does Maddox not catch that?

We really don’t have any true athletes. That’s why they are all 2 and 3 star players. The 4s and 5s make those interceptions due to their athleticism.

 

[RUfromSoCal?]

Sadly, 14points is a mountain too high

 

[RUboston]

Sitkowski and Ash made a 3-0 game a 13-0 game in no time flat. All we needed was to not throw an absurd interception and not go three and out on 3 handoffs. Is it too much to ask for a short pass or two from Gio and move the chains?!

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

That was 100% PI on Hayes - not even close.

But you have seen similar cases where it was not called.. right?

 

[RU4Real]

63 yards of total offense.

 

[NickRU714]

Did Ash/McNulty not realize most offenses can go down the field in under 2 minutes?

What was the thought
"We are going to give up with 2min left on the half.
Someone go over and tell Franklin to do the same."

 

[Extra Point_rivals157299]

Can't win a game turning the ball over. We did it twice now.

 

[D1ESEL44]

Silly you. Only we hold.

For God sakes the o-lineman tackled Wilkins on the play where they picked up the flag for intentional grounding

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

PSU o line holding again and no flags

You think they were holding in the first half?

Watch their first possession int eh 2nd half.. the whole team is getting yelled at at halftime for not scoring enough.. do they want to play in a New Years bowl.. stuff like that.. they will come out and tackled our DL.. watch the number of our DL on the ground in the 2nd half. All the top teams will do that when feeling under pressure.. and the refs will allow them to do it.

 

[Block R]

63 yards of total offense.

Feels like less

 

[Extra Point_rivals157299]

What is nice is there is still opportunity to win this game.

 

[NickRU714]

Game #11 and Sitkowski proves that he has learned absolutely nothing.

Is that partly on the QB coach?
Who is also OC and best coach on staff?

 

[RU848789]

But you have seen similar cases where it was not called.. right?

Not that bad - that gets called every time.

 

[Block R]

What is nice is there is still opportunity to win this game.

If we had anything resembling an offense, I’d agree. PSU is not playing well.
